It's less about India and more about Usanai where urban sprawl is all the rage which makes wiring it impossible… and capitalist-driven-development doesn't help.
Yeah, EU setup is absurdly convoluted but it's simply a result of the consensus that tires to balance difference sources of power (the people and the countries).
Ideally the whole EU population should just vote for MEPs in EU parliment, which the would form the government. But that would completely sidestep member states government which they won't ever agree to. And any even mention of reforminng the EU towards that is immediatelly shoot down because nationalists are screetching about soverignty (which at the same time complain that the EU is undemocratic)
So we have the setup with European Council (heads of governments) setting the agenda, Comission (presiden of which is selected by council and approved by parliment) that makes that into law and then Parliment and EU Council (not European council!) votes for it.
I'm still on one of those forums and find it very… comforting. The discussions and topics are (absurdly) in-depth. Poeple are actually interested in what they are commenting on and it's not too "crowdy" so you somewhat get to know more or less who is who :)
From more devops-ish perspective: I would love for PostgreSQL to finally have in-place upgrade between (successive) major versions.
Most distros can handle the annoying quirk of having older+newer version to run `pg_upgrade` but when using docker it's pure PITA to upgrade to newer (major) version :/
in the end I went with the surgery and now I'm in recovery. Sadly 4-5 years of trying lots of PT/streaching/pull-ups/push-ups/whatnot didn't help and only made things worse :(
I had issues with my shoulder for years. Tried PT as well as pull/push-ups but doing that made the pain worse (if I wasn't doing any exercises involving the shoulder it was "fine")…
Nah. But for the supposed "privacy" you swap one "dumb pipe" for another pipe, which you have no clue about its operations beyond "trust me bro". Of course they may behave with good intentions and actually keep their promises but that's a rather huge IF.
And then quite often people will still use their regular tracking-browser to access tracking-websites xD
I got first Jolla Phone ages ago, wanted to love it but in the end I disliked it bebause of gesture-oriented UI (it simply didn't 'click' for me and was annoying to use in the long run).
Right now I'm more excited about PostmarketOS which seems to be more vanilla Linux with more approachable UI…
Huge problem (for me) with SaifishOS is… annoying UI. I know that a lot of people swear by swipe navigation but it's just darn inconvenient and imprecise (or rather - require a lot of precission to select desired option)… I tried to get used to it for a long time and I simply couldn't. Having to pay effin lot of attention each time I tried to do anything with the phone was simply to much…
Same could be said for <some level of government>. Quite often people are just generally clueless how things are administered/goverened ;)
